All, If you weren't able to be present for the 125th anniversary Missouri Birding Society meeting in Chesterfield, you missed a great experience in connecting with many others who share your "calling" for a fascination with birds.
The field trips offered a varied mix of habitats and snippets of conversations confirmed that they were positive experiences with a great variety of species seen and several birders rewarded with lifers. The speakers' presentations were informative and entertaining.
I'm having difficulty finding the words describing the honor and gratitude I have for being a part of the MBS community of birders and the utter surprise of receiving the Rudolf Bennitt Award. Equal to the surprise of the award, itself, is the amazement of learning more than a dozen people were able to kept the process a secret for more than a year!
Thank you all, my MBS extended family, for being who you are and for sharing the joys of all the pleasures we experience pursuing our passion for birds and the wonders of the natural worlds of Missouri and beyond.
The future is bright with possibilities as I look forward to sharing more days of bodacious birding with you.
Thank you,
Edge Wade Columbia, MO <1edgewade...>
